A new gaseous cavitation model in a tilting-pad journal bearing

With the higher rotational speeds and loads in bearings, gaseous cavitation becomes more cannot be ignorable bearing designs. However, there is no enough research non-equilibrium model. This paper builds a new model based on Bunsen solubility bubble dynamics. The equilibrium pressure calculated by local its difference with decides mass transfer rate this for cavitation. A titling-pad journal at 3000 rpm under 299 kN load chosen as object an original applied. As minimum film thickness force balance, performs better accordance experiment than According to multiphase distributions film, can simulate processes of dissolution high speed, which close physical process. developed applied successfully tilting-pad bearings simulating
